Having A Go At Beery Long Writing With Max
Posted by on Monday, January 21, 2013 in - leave a comment
I have a few things burbling away. First in line, as you know, Albany ale needs to be properly addressed - especially given Craig's more detailed research and clearer organization of the topic. Having stumbled upon the forgotten center of brewing of America before the lager invasion, it's worthy … read more »
What Does A Critique Of Beer Culture Look Like?
Posted by on Sunday, January 20, 2013 in - 44 comments
I've been thinking more and more about the framework of the beery discourse and what has gotten us to this point. Still no comprehensive US history of beer. Still we live with the very language of beer controlled by organizations with middle managers, accountants and committees. And a growing … read more »
But What Is "Influence" When It Comes To Beer?
Posted by on Monday, January 14, 2013 in - 16 comments
Martyn has cornered the market. As I noted on Facebook, he is attempting to suck all beer knowledge into one singularity of a comments thread. I now dub this "black hole" blogging. But it is of the highest order and I do trust this will be bronzed for preservation over time. A classic post and …
Your Friday Night Beery Thoughts And Links
Posted by on Friday, January 11, 2013 in - 1 comment
I was going to write some half-baked post about comparing that beer to that other beer but I don't have the heart. I am a third of the way through and really enjoying How to Love Wine by Eric Asimov and he is still telling me about what isn't important. Blind tastings? Not that I do them but I …
My Own Loose And Recycled Thoughts At Year End
Posted by on Sunday, December 30, 2012 in - 4 comments
Max of Pivní Filosof fame has got to have the most interesting mind which is aimed at good beer these days. That or he just says things others think... I think. Today, he posted his loose and recycled thoughts for the end of the year. Not a best of. Not a greatest hits. Just the things jangling …
Can I Pick My Own Golden Pints 2012 Awards?
Posted by on Wednesday, December 12, 2012 in - 8 comments
Apparently I am not experiencing enough contests in my life as Mark Dredge and Andy Moog's Gold Pints Awards for 2012 has caught my eye. Not because I can actually claim to answer all the questions posed by them so much as to see the degree to which I could even participate. I remember when my …

It's a busy day over here. I have backed up beer and beer book notes I would like to post. If I have the time I would post about the great post over at Max's which builds on a comment he left at Jeff's on Thusday. I would also like to go over the amazing work Craig has been doing in the great … read more »
Is There Anyone More Interesting Than Simon H Johnson?

I like helping people. Say what you like, I am a people person at heart. I helped people today. I have been helping people so much this week, I have snapped at an old pal in my business life and been living on five hour sleeps. I made a lamb sausage curry tonight, too. So it is with some … read more »
Lazy Summary Of Tuesday Posts By Other People

OK, I got up at five. Give me a break. Tired. Too tired for this? No. No, it's not that Twitter is more interesting than blogging. It isn't! No. I'll pay more attention to you real soon, blog. Sure, I haven't posted since Sunday and the last post over there was about carrots but you are the focus …
